Episode 2129: Ronaldo’s Record, Ireland’s Sliver Of Hope, Ken On The Road
If Ronaldo scores just one goal for his country this evening he will become the leading international scorer in the history of the men’s game. Luckily, he’s not the type to worry about awards, accolades, legacy and fame.
Ken, with the warm Algarve breeze on his face, clutches at various straws for Ireland, including the fact that Portugal don’t seem to have looked at our set up, our players, or even be aware we’re not British.

Plus there’s Pele’s 1000th goal, Shane Duffy’s form, Stephen Kenny’s swiss army knife team and Ken takes us on a trip down memory lane.

If United signing a 36 year old Ronaldo and making him the best paid player in the league is obviously such a good idea, Ken wants to know why did they wait until City were about to close the deal before making their move?https://t.co/PShXjuZ8oh pic.twitter.com/nGomyeGcEu
